Anthony’s Cafe’s annual “Adopt-a-Family” for the holidays

By Greg PacanaDec. 11, 2013

An­thony’s Cafe, 319 E. Gir­ard Ave., has se­lec­ted Priscilla Steven­son and her fam­ily to be this year’s sponsored Christ­mas fam­ily.

From the many ap­plic­ants that An­thony’s re­ceived, Priscilla was chosen not only be­cause she and her fam­ily are in need, but be­cause of the cour­age, de­term­in­a­tion and re­si­li­ence that she has demon­strated in over­com­ing ad­versity.

Priscilla resides in Fishtown and is a single moth­er with two daugh­ters — Cali, who is 4 years old and Chloe who is only 2.

In ad­di­tion to provid­ing Christ­mas din­ner for the Steven­son fam­ily, An­thony’s Cafe is ask­ing for dona­tions from the com­munity in the form of new, un­wrapped toys, new clothes, gift cards, and gro­cery items.
